As one of the few PC mercs who missed the cash flow of passive ISK, I'm unsure how it should change..
I can just throw out opinions that I have gathered while building DMG into a PC side
- Passive payouts led to greed, mercs expect high ringing fee's as they were used to them for so long.
The concept of fighting for payouts is lost on most mercs as they just want the ISK
- Active farming, we all know this is going on with corps attacking their allies, not fighting = free ISK
- So one thing is certain, with the state PC is in, none can survive other than teams that have stockpiled passive ISK
As the payouts barely cover expenses and that's if you win, a loss hits your team hard costing est.25mil ISK
So what do we do? how can payouts be balanced so that corps can't hoard districts and become too strong..?
It's a tricky one and one thing the community has proved, they will find a way to abuse it.. no matter what CCP 'fix'
I suggest a simple method, that will benefit all mercs/corps that are PC active and that is allow us to make use of salvage
Salvage is horribly broken, random loot that most mercs cannot use to begin with, I'm sure giving dedicated salvage
would not be possible (eg.I would receive Plasma Cannons/Knives/Combat Rifles etc.) but there is a way to make all
of the salvaged equipment useful to mercs/corps and that is by changing how salvage is payed out to mercs,
It would no longer be received directly by the mercs but would be added to a Corp Locker where Directors can
then distribute it to the mercs that have use for it, along with the ability to sell for ISK that's added to corp wallet
^^ This gives at least some reward to the losing side, along with making salvage drops actually matter
As now, I'm lucky if 5/20 salvage items are anyway good to me.. I'm sure this is the same for many mercs
(Just an opinion and me thinking out loud, so be nice when the Vultures swoop in to tell me why it won't work)
And yes CCP, this would require a client update for your 2 year dedicated playerbase..
Innapropriate Irrelevence...
Welcome to the Dust Forum, hang around to see why everyone else left :/
